G4 Aerospace Solid Foam Core
At the heart of the Black Opal is our proprietary G4 Aerospace Foam Core, a floating solid construction that optimizes energy transfer and creates a highly responsive sweet spot. The 14mm high-density design delivers fast hands and increased power while maintaining the same control you’d expect from a traditional 16mm paddle.
Power Gel: Explosive Energy Layer
The Black Opal features our patent-pending Power Gel layer, engineered to amplify shot energy without compromising touch. This breakthrough design maximizes pop, adds depth to drives, and enhances precision at the net.
Shock Shield Handle Technology
Shock Shield technology absorbs vibration and enhances feedback with every swing. This silicone injection system reduces arm fatigue and improves connection to the ball for greater comfort and confidence.
Carbon Lite Construction
Constructed with aerospace-grade Carbon Lite materials, the Black Opal delivers exceptional strength-to-weight balance for fast maneuverability and long-lasting durability.
Diamond Tough Surface
Featuring Six Zero’s Diamond Tough infusion, this paddle delivers elite spin and texture life that lasts more than four times longer than traditional raw carbon surfaces.
Perfectly Balanced for Precision and Power
Every detail of the Black Opal Year of the Horse Edition is engineered for the perfect balance of control, power, and responsiveness. Whether you’re attacking, defending, or resetting, this paddle gives you the confidence to perform at your highest level.
Exclusive Neoprene Cover
Each paddle includes a custom Six Zero neoprene cover, offering premium protection and a refined finish worthy of a limited edition release.

Product FAQ
The Black Opal is our most advanced paddle yet, featuring a new G4 Aerospace Foam Core and Power Gel layer that combine for explosive energy and precise control. It also includes Diamond Tough surface technology for unmatched spin longevity and Carbon Lite construction for lightweight speed. Compared to other models, it blends pro-level power with reliable control, making it ideal for players who want the best of both worlds.
The Black Opal is engineered for serious players, from competitive intermediates to top professionals. Its unique balance of control, power, and dwell time makes it accessible to developing players while still meeting the demands of elite athletes.
The G4 core is a floating solid foam design that transfers energy more efficiently than traditional polymer cores. This means faster hands at the net, a responsive sweet spot, and the ability to generate power without sacrificing control. The 14 mm design plays like a thicker paddle, offering the best of both speed and stability.
Power Gel is a custom-engineered performance layer built into the paddle face. It amplifies shot energy to add pop to drives and counters, while maintaining touch for dinks and drops. You get more depth and pace on offensive shots without losing finesse around the kitchen.
Yes. Shock Shield is a silicone injection system integrated directly into the handle. It absorbs vibration on impact, which reduces stress on the wrist, elbow, and shoulder. This improves comfort during long matches and builds player confidence in fast-paced play.
Diamond Tough uses real diamond particles infused into the paddle face, extending surface life up to four times longer than industry standards. This means your spin, bite, and texture will hold up match after match, giving you consistent performance far beyond most paddles.
The Black Opal strikes a rare balance. Carbon Lite construction makes it fast and maneuverable, while the solid foam core and Power Gel layer provide baseline power. The result is a paddle that feels light in hand but delivers explosive force when you need it.
The Black Opal is available exclusively in a 14mm thickness, but it’s intentionally engineered to play like a 16mm paddle. Its G4 core is 25% more dense than traditional honeycomb or foam constructions, creating a solid, responsive feel with outstanding control. Combined with our Power Gel layer and Diamond Tough surface, this design delivers the plush dwell time and touch of a thicker paddle, while maintaining the speed, pop, and maneuverability that define Six Zero performance. The result is a paddle that gives players the best of both worlds: power and precision in perfect balance.
The Black Opal stands apart thanks to its proprietary technologies: the G4 core, Power Gel layer, and Diamond Tough surface. Built with aerospace-grade materials and advanced engineering methods, it delivers exceptional durability, enhanced spin, and a balanced play profile that adapts seamlessly to a variety of playing styles.
Each Black Opal paddle includes a built-in NFC chip that you can scan with your phone. It takes you to a registration page where the serial number is automatically entered and verified against our database. This ensures your paddle is authentic, protects you from counterfeits, and activates your warranty. It’s a simple way to secure your purchase and your peace of mind.

Anthony P. (Stevensville, US) Great looking paddle. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I play with one of the first black opals along with all the other great Six Zero paddles, Coral, Ruby Pro and Ruby.
